Our BROOKLYN Letter.


Editor LIGHT;
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. 8, 1856.
Wall FROM BABYHoOD-sOCIErY GOSSIP.
A troubled young mother asks IL il is
right to pin infants into tight bands.
No. Your baby wants all the room II
can have and nobody but old fOgies in
sist upon their use now.
Another mother complains that her
baby will not sleep evenings. Thst Is
because she did not begin early enough.
A nurse can cOmplicate all the months
Of babyhOOd by six weeks training.
Prospective mothers should inform
themselves more than they do on these
subjects and 1t would not do any harm
for unmarried girls to know something
about such things.
Another mother asks advise about
food for her infant. Ii is three months
old. and skeleton. Milk does not do at
all, and she is sure IL cannot live much
longer unless IL is nOurished. since
the wonderful Improvement of
Marion Harland's little grandChild
on soluble food. and its subsequent
endorsement by this popular writer aud
lover OF humanity, | have observed lilo
effects upon a couple of infants in my
own neighborhOod. One mother had no
milk for her child, and the natural food
of the other mother could not be retained
on the poor little stomach. AT last the
physician in the latter case, ordered this
food as a last experiment, and the child
began at once 10 improve. Then the
news was carried TO the other sufferer,
and the result was as marked as Is the
first instance. The number of children
who die yearly from inattention can
scarcely be computed. Consumption,
onnvulfinDR bnugp hpli
words, and some cases will continue TO
he beyond the reach of human skill TO
cure. But these cases | can personally
vouch for, aud the experiment is worth
trying.
Marquis De LueVille, who was year
or so ago advertised so extensively with
Mrs. Frank Leslie, bias been heard OF
again. He is engaged in introducing
America Clam Bakes to Great Britain.
Lord Salibusry declines TO use the
room ut the treasury since Lord iddles-
leigh died there. He is said 10 have al
ways been nervous and expectations,
and this sudden death under such awful
circumstances has completely unnerVed
him.
The paragraphs that have been writ
ten, and the sermons that have been
preached about the irresponsible burst
OF laughter which gurgled unsteady
from Mrs. William AsIeT's box at TIE
opera The other night, would make Il
good sized book. Oi course the spasm
should have been herOicaily stranged,
but it got too far for that, knocking
Fraulein Vrandt clear out Of her aria
You may think this is intended Tor a
pun. but it is NOT. Anyway, this sponta-
neOus bursr of laughter must have been
gOdsend TO the board reporters. We
ought to have Hugo 10 write The
Girl who Laughs" for il was girl, and
the laughter was an accident, and
caused by something irresistabiy ludi-

The BEGINNING of the End.

The beginning of disease is a slight debility
or disorder of some of the Vita organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney and I'M
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prOstratiOn of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But
IL the difficulty is met IN time with HOstetters
Stomach Bttrers, which is always effective as
a remedy, and it should be resOrted to at an
early stage. there will be no reason to appre-
bend those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely cured
diseases. Far better is IL, also, to employ this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than quinine and
other potent drugs, which, even when they do
prove cffectual for a time, ruin the stomach
and impair the general health.

The MunicipaI Election.

There Was lively contest over cOun-
cilmen at the election in st. Clairsville
On Monday. The regular parties placed
tickets in the field, but owing 10 the al
eyed interference of the saloon interest,
and the apparent control by that inter
est of both party conventions, with a
view of controlling council. there was
much dissatisfaction resulting in con-
vention of citizens regardless of party,
which placed IN nomination Citizens
ticket. There was a fusion of the old
tickets arranged by the interested par
ties, by whicn two men on the Repubi>
can and one on the Democratic ticket
were to be voted for. Active efforts
were put forth by both sides. and prob>
ably the largest vote-306 ever cast in
the town, was pulled. The count re-
suited in the election of the entire Citi
ZeDs' ticket. The following are the
tickets and votes cast for each caDdida'r:
